5.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Sishuai Gong <sishuai.system@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 5310760af1d4fbea1452bfc77db5f9a680f7ae47 ] When two threads run proc_do_sync_threshold() in parallel, data races could happen between the two memcpy(): Thread-1 Thread-2 memcpy(val, valp, sizeof(val)); memcpy(valp, val, sizeof(val)); This race might mess up the (struct ctl_table *) table->data, so we add a mutex lock to serialize them.
